NGC 7319 is a spiral galaxy member of the Stephan's Quintet located in the constellation Pegasus.
Controversially, the galaxy could "contain" a quasar. A quasar is an object conventionally thought to be incredibly farther away than an ordinary galaxy such as 7319. An article on the controversial paper: http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/mcquasar.asp
